Sunny All Around Color Option

Pinwheels Tabletop Quilt

Who would guess that the unexpected color combination of pink, green, and black could be so stunning? Quilt tester Jan Ragaller mixed prints from the Lily collection for Timeless Treasures Fabrics for this small quilt. White, a component of each print, ties the trio of colors together to make a lively table topper.

Sweet & Sassy Color Option

Patchwork and Prairie Points Bag

Stir up a mix of blue and green prints from the Cheep Talk collection for Connecting Threads for a just-for-fun tote. Project tester Jude Sams Sohn says the patchwork pocket is a great place to showcase small swatches of prints and practice straight-line machine quilting.

Flower Show Color Option

Fat Quarter Twin Bed Quilt

A subtle shift in background color—from crisp white to soft citrus—gives Flower Show a dazzling new look. Designers Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle used solid watermelon pink strips between floral rectangles for added punch. The solid green binding echoes the foliage and the background color in many of the florals they selected for the pieced rows.

Zinnia Flats Color Option

Four-Square Wall Hanging

When a fabric shouts for attention, it’s time to give it a place of honor. Quilt tester Jan Ragaller chose a large floral from the Modern Mix collection for Benartex for the center of the blocks and used complementary prints and stripes to round out the case of this version of Zinnia Flats.

Bare Necessities Color Option

Scrappy Strips Bag

You don’t need color to stand out. Strips and bits of black-and-white prints, dots, and stripes make an eye-catching bag. Omit the tassels. Slip strap ends between bag lining and secure in place to make a simple, swingy pouch.

Peace Out Color Option

Butterfly Floor Pillow

Four printed panels make up the center block of this floor pillow. Project tester Judy Sams Sohn added a black dot flat piping to the center, and a border of printed butterflies. Fabrics are from the Papillion collection by Karen Montgomery for Timeless Treasures Fabrics.
